Issued by Prime Capital Investment Advisors, LLC [PCIA]

Nov. 1, 2024

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- Prime Capital Financial chose Jania Stout, CPFA, as President of its retirement plan consulting business, Prime Capital Retirement, formerly Qualified Plan Advisors and its financial wellness company, Prime Capital Wellness, formerly Financial Fitness for Life. With more than 28 years of experience across provider and advisory roles in the retirement industry, Stout will devote her talent and passion to improving retirement outcomes on a national level.

Stout’s work in the retirement industry is driven by her deep appreciation for fiduciary governance and commitment to the success of employee financial wellness programs. Previously senior vice president of retirement and wealth at Atlanta-based OneDigital, Stout’s career began with some of the industry’s leading plan providers, ADP and Fidelity. She then transitioned into advisory roles, where she built a reputation for delivering results for plan sponsors and plan participants.

“At her core, Jania wants working Americans to be confident in their futures,” said Glenn Spencer, chief executive officer of Prime Capital Financial. “That spark has energized her work in the retirement space throughout her career, and we can’t wait to see what she accomplishes as a practice leader with a platform and a clear message.”

Stout has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including being named the 2023 Retirement Plan Advisor of the Year by Institutional Investor, the 2020 Top Advisor by Participant Outcomes by 401(k) Specialist Magazine, and the 2016 Plan Adviser of the Year by Plan Sponsor Magazine. Her influence extends well beyond her client work. Stout has testified before Congress and worked closely with the Department of Labor on key fiduciary regulations. She is also a highly sought-after speaker, regularly addressing audiences on key topics such as financial wellness, employee engagement and fiduciary governance.

“Prime Capital Financial understands what is at stake for retirees and has built out an incredible team in its retirement practice,” Stout said. “We have the skills and support we need to guide plan participants toward the lives they want to live, and share our initiatives and solutions on a national stage.”

As President of Prime Capital Retirement and Prime Capital Wellness, Stout will work closely with the founder of Prime Capital Retirement, Scott Colangelo.

"Twenty years ago, I founded the retirement practice to bridge the gaps in education and resources for retirement savers. Jania is precisely the kind of visionary leader we need to carry that mission forward,” said Scott Colangelo, chairman and managing partner of Prime Capital Financial. “Her unparalleled dedication and wealth of experience align seamlessly with our values, and I am confident she will guide us to even greater success in the future.”
